Does anyone else see similarities between the situation in Georgia and the Spanish Civil War?

Question

Maybe I'm wrong, but this is what I think I've noticed. South Ossetia tried to break away from Georgia, like Nationalist Spain breaking off of Republican Spain during the 1930s. When Georgia tried to reclaim their territory, Russia intervened on behalf of the separatists, like Germany aiding the Spanish nationalists.

Do you think this is a legitimate comparison? Do you think we're on the same road (i.e. this will lead to a bigger war?) Can we learn from the mistakes of the past?

Answer 1

The world. You deceive! World mass media conduct propagation of a false information. Russia DID NOT ATTACK Georgia! 07.08.2008 at 22:00 Georgia has attacked South Ossetia. At 3:30 08.08.2008 tanks of the Georgian armies have entered into city Tskhinvali. Artillery bombardment all the day long proceeded, fights with use of tanks and heavy combat material, both against ossetic armies, and against peace inhabitants were conducted. 1400 civil people already were lost. The Russian peacemakers have arrived to South Ossetia in the evening 08.08.2008 for settlement of the conflict and prompting of the world in republic and protection of the Russian citizens living on territory of South Ossetia. Georgia has attacked South Ossetia on eve of Olympiad, it is top of cruelty and cynicism. We shall tell is not present to WAR!!!

Answer 4

i thik if what russia did will have the right answer from the west everything will be ok,

i dont think Georgia anyhow or anytime wanted to be involved in a war against russia, no1 would, especially such a little countru as Georgia.

One thing is obvious, South ossetia is a part of Georgia and sure it is supported by Russia with any means, i donno how u guys feel about it, but i think no1 in the whole wordl would let another country  ( in this case Russia) to annex the territory, even inf its a conflict zone
